In September of 1999, a notice was sent out, to any
interested parties, that a county bridge, originally
located in Washington County near Copan, would
be given up for "adoption" to a group that met
certain criteria. The requirements were set forth by
a committee from the State Historical Society, the
Federal High way A dm inistration and the Plan n ing
Division of the Oklahoma Department of
Transportation. They included: ability to move
and reset the bridge, continual maintenance of the
bridge and how the bridge would be used to benefit
all citizens.
The employees of the Oklahoma Department of
Transportation Division 8 Headquarters decided
that this would be a worthwhile undertaking. We
submitted a proposal to the committee listing our
plans for the bridge. We had fierce competition,
however, we were elected as the recipients of this
bridge.
The structure was moved to our facility and
restored to what you see now. Many O.D.O.T.
employees have participated in this restoration to
make it an informative and historic monument.
This bridge is dedicated to Mr. Ed Kellogg because
he served as the main support and encouragement
for preservation of this bridge. He always felt that
it is important for us to not forget where we came
from.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our bridge.
Keep Our Land Grand!
